I dont understand why anybody in there right mind would pay $2000 for an avalon preamp when you can get a virtual neve 1072 or api 512 for less than half of that , and i can tell you that none of todays pres match the character of tone that the old ones do ,thats strictly my opinion but i also believe theres no substitute for a cranked up tube amp ,and thats a sound that no pod, cyber sucker or any other piece of crap wonder box can do, but anyway if anybody is looking for an awsome set of D.I.Y pres go to seventh circle audio.com ,by the way i dont work for these people in any way tim just makes a awsome pre and they have good customer service , before i shut up i'll tell you i have a pair of telefunken 676's from 1969 in top working condition and if i would have known about SCA pres before i bought it i would have saved the money and bought a couple of sca pres instead not that the tele sonds bad by know means i love it , its just the price to quality ratio is awsome.
